External obstacles are no match for my fearless inner strength!  

Proverbs 31:25 KJV – “Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

I have the confidence and creativity to find solutions and act no matter what challenges hinder my path. My handy tools—affirmations, positive self-talk, and meditating on God’s Word—are like weapons that help me defeat any obstacle.

I use affirmations to help me build effective habits and attitudes. Good habits make good choices easy and automatic. Confidence and an optimistic attitude can get me through just about anything.

Using positive self-talk throughout my day boosts my confidence. Whenever I do something well, I congratulate myself. When I reach even the smallest goal, I celebrate my accomplishment. When I make a mistake, I remind myself that I am human, seek to learn from it, and move on, unaffected by the delay.

I ask myself how this challenge can help me when I encounter an obstacle. When I find a way to continue toward my goal, my positive self-talk encourages me to take decisive action.

Meditating on God’s Word also helps me build my inner strength and instills an unstoppable motivation to attain my desired life. I envision myself living my dreams, and in these dreams, I also feel the honor of accomplishment that comes only from overcoming challenges with my gifts from the Holy Spirit.

Overcoming challenges creates a cycle of strength, too. Seizing a victory over my obstacles strengthens me and builds even greater confidence that I can defeat the next one.

Affirm: Today, I choose to meet my challenges head-on with confidence, creativity, and the can-do attitude that keeps me moving forward.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I waste time bemoaning challenges instead of taking action to overcome them?
2. How can I encourage myself to become action-oriented?
3. Is my inner dialogue with myself positive and uplifting or negative and berating?
